We haven't got a striker in the squad that is suited to Gerrard's current preferred formation. We need a Benteke/Drogba type - none of the four we have are anything like that.

He isn’t as good as watkins/Ings but the ‘sum of the parts’ could see an overall improvement. Would piss off most the crowd and squad trying it though.
I heard we're interested for a loan of a Chelsea player!That is all I know!And it's one who came on yesterday!The contenders then will be Gallagher Loftus CheekArmando Broja strikerOr Christian PulisicAnd it's only a loan

Quote from: Ads on August 07, 2022, 09:02:57 AMThere was an occasion yesterday where he received the ball with his back to goal, threaded through their midfield and about 5 yards onto him against a defender. His touch was so poor he miscontrolled it beyond their midfielder. That's not confidence, that's something he ought to have the ability to do from a young age. He can't and never will, no matter how chipper he feels at any given moment.His touch was fine in his first season. Is that now gone forever? And even with a woeful first touch he still gives more to the team than Ings.

It can only be Gallagher because there is no way Chelsea are loaning out Pulisic. I'd take the latter in a heartbeat.
